To use this vinyl LP, first, make sure your turntable is clean and in good working condition. Gently place the record on the turntable platter, and carefully lower the tonearm onto the lead - in groove. Enjoy the beautiful music. When handling the vinyl, hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches. After each use, return the record to its die - cut gatefold sleeve to protect it. Store the LP in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat to prevent warping. The TTL Institut Audio obi strip is a nice collectible part of the package, so handle it with care too.
